I wonder if these words have something to do with "Harry Potter."

According to Google, it's a magical spell to become invisible, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_of_Solomon

I suggest a better one:
W szale skrzypki trzy strzaskał mistrz.
if you like pronounciation challenges :P

It's not only Latin---that's for sure. I bet there are Latin roots, and other roots, combined into words.

James Joyce did this sort of thing in "Finnegan's Wake."

Try German.  A quick Internet search turned up a reference to "Grimoirium Verum", which is written in German.

They are names of demons.

It's probably some deformed Hebrew->Greek->Latin->German->whatever, the more exotic and obscure, the more magical it would sound.

I a lot of folk "spells" were deformed Latin - I heard "hocus pocus" comes from "hoc est corpus"...

Which led to the kids' song and dance called the "Hokey-Pokey" -- a thinly-veiled parody of Catholic Mass.

Why?  Are you looking to hang around the girls' locker room undetected?

Those demons' names are invoked are part of an (alleged) invisibility spell.
